Great… Working fine… 😍

But, I have a doubt : Is this possibility known to Skillshare or is this any kind of illegal hack ?! 🙃

If this is a vulnerability, does informing them get the finder of the same some bounty ?! 🤔

As far as I’ve seen from the Python code, it is a hack from someone who figured out that the SS videos are hosted on Brightcove, so the code simply downloads the videos directly from Brightcove bypassing SS entirely _(hence the reason why it doesn’t need an account to do that)_

It is the same as with other course sites that host their videos on Wistia and they download the videos directly from Wistia - it’s the same principle.

And to answer your question: yes, using that code to download the videos without a paid account is considered an illegal hack.
